Rating 5.0

The Michelin Pilot Sports A/S2 are the best tires you can buy for these besides Pirelli. I just put Continental DWS06 tires on my 2016 6 and it was like driving a different car. So much smoother and more responsive.

Pros: smoother and more responsive
Vehicle: Mazda 6

Cooper Tires

I am so tempted to put some Cooper AT/3s on mine. The stock Continentals are not great and I have already picked up two screws in 3 months. I never got any holes in 50k miles on the AT/3s on my Pathfinder.

Pros: good experience on Pathfinder
Cons: stock tires not great
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Cooper Tires

It finally came down to the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. The reviews I read and watched said it has good wet road traction and does decent off road. My experience for the last 50k miles on them supports that conclusion.

Pros: good wet road traction
Mileage: 50000 km

Continental Tires

I have a set of the new Continental extremecontact sport ready to throw on very soon. These tires were designed to compete with the new Michelin summer tires. Tirerack did a performance test on the top summer tires and they performed just under the new Michelin PS4S but for way cheaper.

Pros: cheaper than Michelin
Cons: under Michelin performance
Vehicle: Dodge RAM

Cooper Tires

Cooper 100%. The Coopers are light, have a great A/T tread, and will do well in snow.

EDIT: And they last forever. I had 55k on the A/T3s on my last truck when I sold it, and they still had plenty of life left.

Pros: light, great A/T tread
Mileage: 55000 km

As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.

Pros: great for family car
Cons: soft sidewalls, poor traction
